The news brought by Beckett alarmed everyone, and everyone gathered around.
Originally, Alex was supposed to come to Ash's party after visiting the historical buildings and doing school activities.
But the news Beckett brought at this moment was that Alex had been kidnapped.
Cassel's face changed from surprise at seeing Beckett to surprise and disbelief. Cassel asked Beckett eagerly: "What's going on? Alex was supposed to come here after the event. No, I
You should pick her up..."
Cassel's reluctance to believe it at the beginning turned into concern for the child, and then he fell into deep self-blame. Martha, who was standing aside, almost fainted when she heard that her granddaughter had been kidnapped.
At this moment, Beckett, who brought the news, became the focus of everyone, and everyone surrounded Becket, trying to get more relevant information.
"Alex and the others originally took a ferry to Long Island after visiting the Wetland Park on Block Island, but a group of soldiers who didn't know where they came from secretly lurked on the island and took them hostage.
Shortly after this incident occurred, the New York police had blocked all waterways and transportation. Then Verboler also arrived at the scene, and Verboler is now in full control of the situation."
From Beckett's words, everyone gradually understood the cause of the incident. Verbol's on-site blockade prevented Beckett, a New York police detective, from obtaining more information.
After trying his best to obtain relevant information, Beckett came to Cassel as quickly as possible, passed the news to Cassel, and tried to comfort him.
At this time, Cassel had a flash of inspiration and found Ash. He grabbed Ash's arm and said, "Ash, please, help me find the news. I know you have a connection with Fabler. Please."
Ash, who was also curious about the origin of the matter, picked up the phone and dialed the director of Forborough, Devlin, at Cassel's urging.
Ash's conversation with Devlin on the phone was no longer as brisk and casual as before, and those standing nearby waiting for the news could hear the stress caused by Ash's conversation with Devlin.
As soon as Ash hung up the phone, Cassel was the first to rush up and said, "Ash, what's going on? Tell me!"
Ash, who was frowning, was still thinking about how to explain this matter to Cassel tactfully so that he would no longer irritate Cassel.
Martha saw Ash's hesitation from the side and said, "Ash, no matter what it is, we have to accept it after all, so just say it."
"It's basically the same news that Beckett brought. A group of soldiers took Alex and the others hostage in an attempt to gain some demands. However, they used some very dangerous threats."
The soldiers were elite Marines led by General Frank Hammer from the Marine Corps. At the same time, they had raided the Air Force arsenal the night before (this was also shown in the movie, the Marines raided the Air Force arsenal). From the arms
Curry obtained a batch of VX nerve gas bombs.
Then General Hammer led the Marines to occupy the entire island, took hostages, and began negotiations with the outside world.
"According to the current combat level of Forborough and the New York police, they are 100% unable to defeat General Hammer's Marines, let alone their biological and chemical weapons that can threaten millions of people."
After Martha heard Ash's explanation, she collapsed. Fortunately, Pepper was holding her up.
"I remember that VX poison gas can be removed with high temperature, or the poison gas can be dissolved into water to reduce damage."
Stark appeared out of nowhere and stood beside him to give advice.
Ash understands Stark's professionalism, but he obviously ignores the role played by the hostages currently being held, and there is now a parent beside him.
Ash had no choice but to remind: "Yes Stark, they have prepared a batch of thermite burning dan. The only solution if the negotiations fail is to ask the air force to blow up the island."
"They chose to sacrifice these hostages for the sake of the remaining millions of people..."
As an arms dealer, Stark also understood the decision at this time, whether to protect the elders or the younger ones. For the people of New York City, sacrificing the hostages on the island was the right thing to do. But in the face of the families of those hostages, any decision
The hostage casualties are also unacceptable to these families.
"Wait a minute, General Hammer raided the Air Force's arsenal. Just wait a minute, and I'll call and ask."
Thinking of the key points, Ash decided to contact General Ross again. As the chief of the Air Force, he must have relevant information.
He dialed the phone again, but before Ash could speak, Ross yelled from the other side of the phone: "Ash, Frank Hammer, I recommended him when he became the Marine Corps commander, and he actually
You dare to come and rob my arsenal, Fak."
It seemed that Hammer's raid on Ross's arsenal made Ross very uncomfortable. Despite Ross's anger, Ash still asked about the relevant details.
"General, what solution is there now? It is said that Forboler is here, but they obviously can't solve it."
"Those guys were only responsible for sealing off the scene. They seconded a small group of Deltas from Sheffield to prepare for precise guidance of air strikes at close range."
According to Ross, Verbol's original plan was to send a small team of ground forces to sneak in secretly, identify all threats, and then accurately guide three batches of air strikes. The 13,700 pounds of ammunition carried by each Super Hornet would destroy all threats.
.
Ash understood that this was ARMY's traditional art, bombing, and bombing, until it flattened. Everything was ready now, and the plane was on the runway for flight inspection.
"General, do you understand why General Hammer did this?"
When asked the reason, Ross obviously fell silent, his angry tone disappeared, and only some emotional words came out: "That idiot is going to disclose to the public what happened two years ago, and get the 21 for his people."
Gunshots rang out.”
Speaking of General Hammer's behavior, Ross was even a little moved: "That fool did this before us. If it weren't for the money you brought, Sheffield would have triggered a world war."
As Sheffield's beloved relative and friend for many years, Ross had long seen Sheffield's intentions, but with the full cooperation of Ash, Sheffield has now given up on this anti-human idea.
But who would have thought that Frank Hammer, who was also the commander-in-chief of the army, would actually do it.
Ash put his cell phone outside, and everyone at the scene fell into silence. The cause of the crisis came from the past, but now the crisis happened to his relatives, and no one could bear it at this time.
Martha had covered her face and cried to herself, and Cassel also stood there blankly. In this situation, no one had a good idea.
"General, I want to see Frank Hammer. Maybe I can persuade him to change his mind!"
Suddenly Ash's words gave everyone a shot in the arm. Everyone at the scene looked at Ash, really hoping that he would perform miracles after saying these words.
"A clearing warning notice has been issued over at Forborough. Ash, you have to think carefully. There is only less than three hours left."
